The flux distribution of network and intranetwork magnetic elements
on the Quiet Sun
Investigators: Aad van Ballegooijen, Robert Noyes
Abstract: We propose to analyze existing MDI magnetograph data to determine
the flux distribution of magnetic network and intranetwork elements on the
Quiet Sun. Various regions will be studied: predominantly unipolar regions
with different values of the net flux density, as well as mixed polarity
regions and regions near polarity inversion lines. The observed distributions
will be compared with results from model calculations which include the
effects of emergence, cancellation, merging and break-up of magnetic elements.
